7.3. Turning test
The quantity of seeds should be adjusted for the correct operation of the Speedseed. See Table 1 for
an indication of the required quantity.
You should consider the following instructions for this:
!! Make sure that the Speedseed and the tractor cannot move while you are setting
them !!
!! Switch off the tractor engine before descending from the tractor !!
You will need the following accessories for adjusting the quantity of seeds:
1. A scale
2. A tray for weighing the seeds
3. Enough seeds for filling the hopper for minimum 30%
The procedure is as follows (see
Figure 5
):
1. Fill the hopper with seeds and make sure that these are evenly spread throughout the
hopper.
2. Lift the Speedseed off the ground so that the wheel can rotate freely.
3. Place a blanket or a piece of carton (1) under the machine.
4. Turn the wheel (
2
) 13 rotations counter-clockwise.
5. Weigh the seeds in kilograms and multiply the outcome by:
Speedseed 1100: 551
Speedseed 1500: 404
Speedseed 2000: 303
Speedseed 2300: 264
The resulting outcome is the amount of seeds in kilograms that should be spread per hectare.
To obtain the outcome in pounds per acre, multiply the resulting outcome by 0.89.
!! Attention! If the bin is in a high position, it can may cause the release of a large
quantity of seeds. Then divide the 13 rotations in several smaller steps !!
